CAUTION: Possible battery damage. Immediately charge the battery to a full
charge upon receipt to avoid the risk of discharging the battery below a usable
state, which would require battery replacement.
NOTE: Effective April 1, 2016, IATA regulations require that air-shipped lithium
ion batteries (UN 3480, PI 965) must be transported at a state of charge not exceed-
ing 30%. You should charge the battery completely as soon as you receive it.

Overview

In general, setup is the physical preparation of the platform and cart and physically marking
parking goal locations on your facility floor. Marking the parking goals on the floor is for
human use. An LD Cart Transporter doesn't use those markings, although we recommend you
mark them in any case, to prevent someone from placing something there that would prevent
a cart from being parked.
The physical preparation of the platform includes attaching the horizontal tubes that support
the side lasers to the HMI post.
Setup also includes generating a map of the workspace and configuring the robot with the
MobilePlanner software to perform useful tasks.

Tasks

This overview covers the LD Cart Transporter starter kit, which includes the transporter with
all components needed for use with a cart, a docking station, and software needed for nav-
igation.
Install the battery in the platform. See Installing the Battery on page 45.
l
Fully charge the battery, either outside of or inside the platform.
l
Set up the wireless Ethernet for the platform. See Configuration on page 61.
l
Install the HMI post's side laser support tubes.
l
Install the docking station. See Installing the Docking Station on page 50.
l
Install the cart's manual brake-release cable and lever.
l
Configure the robot for your environment, so it can perform useful tasks.

This includes generating the map that the LD Cart Transporter will use for its nav-
igation. This procedure and parameter configuration is covered in the Mobile Robot Soft-
ware Suite User's Guide.
Mark the location and orientation of the goals where the cart can be parked. This allows
l
a person to place a cart where the transporter can find it.
